U.S. troops count on supplies from home – Bailiff

Rice football coach David Bailiff has never served in the military. So, he is learning things every day from U.S. troops in Southwest Asia.

Bailiff, on a goodwill tour with some other coaches, has discovered that soldiers count on deliveries of supplies from home.

“It might be easy to think those are no big deal, but I can tell you that it is big news when they arrive,” said Bailiff, a MacArthur graduate. “The movies, the toiletries, everything that folks send is a great boost when it arrives.”
